  • Engine compartment black paint

    I have Access to Ecoat. aslong as the Manufacturing Facility Stays in Business, Actually its pretty cheap, you can get bulk parts ecoated aslong as their clean of rust for about 150 bucks, it doesn't matter how many pounds you bring, this includes top frames, pully's bumper brackets etc. I gave some little items to ppg and they confirmed they were ecoat. just reciently I got an nos oil filler cap, and its ecoat. Convertible top Frames work great durring ecoating. Somehow their bushings survive 400 degreas. if you run a seat track through the coat process with out taking the track apart the bushing melt. so Top Frames must have been assembled before plating as the bushings survive. I have been ecoating stuff for along time. On the engine compartment like some of the underside of mustangs it could of been hot wax. as you can sometimes notice on undrestored cars you can scrape the bottom of the floor pan with your finger and its somewhat not durabale or if you remove the front sway bar and the original paint is still their its easy to scrap. Ford has used hot wax since the model t

    NO OVERSPRAY ??


    No over spray where? If you're referring to the outer inner fender/firewall area, then you must not have read that this is a San Jose car.


    Thoroughbred Shelby first car to win the MCA Authenticity Award! San Jose Fastback Shelby GT350 restored by Shane, Its also won all of the SAAC awards as well... Just look at that overspray... Looks correct to me! How is that possible???

  • Wanted 65 Hipo axle bumper.

    These plates came on all dual exhaust cars no matter K or A code or for that matter all the way upto a boss 302, mach1 the early dual exhaust plate was smaller as stated in the pictue san jose- those are the early plates seen on san jose, dearborn, or metuchin cars. the later style goes thru 70


    Yes the plate I had cnc machined is made from an original 69 mach1 dual exhaust plate


    here is the same plate on a 70 boss 302

  • Wanted 65 Hipo axle bumper.

    I can get these made exact both the early plate and the later plate all 65/66 GT's K Codes and all dual exhaust Cars upto the 70 boss 302, Mach1 etc have the same plate. If we can get enough interest on these the mold to get them made up cost about 2k and then about 75 bucks a punch. They current one I have is cnc machined and then welded

  • Rarest of Mustangs

    Quote from wlewis

    In the world of classic Mustangs, how rare are K code cars compared to other categories of Mustangs, ie Boss 302's, Boss 429's, Mach 1 big blocks, Shelby's, etc?

    I would guess Boss 429's are the rarest, followed by either Boss 302's or Shelby GT 350's? In a ranking of all the types, just wondering where K codes fit in.

    Walter


    The most rare cars are the Pre-Production Mustangs only a handful exist that were made in 1964 ,67,and 69


    and then a non rebody 64 1/2 K vert would have to rank up their very high as well

  • K code body Snubber Plate

    Hello everyone, I I have cnc machined in my spare time the K code body snubber plate, i made a few of them. the ones that all nine inch rearend cars from mid 65 thru at least 70. I have not machined the early K 64 1/2 code snubber plate but will in the future if their is demand. if your missing this on your K its a must and sometimes stuff is too far rotted out and the replacement pan has the normal v8 body snubber. the cost of this is $100 dollars each they are exact demension of the original. all you will need to do is smear some body filler on it to shape like the originals rounded corners. the standard v8 snubber [Blocked Image: http://24.154.64.40/normalsnubber.jpg] the hipo snubber [Blocked Image: http://24.154.64.40/snubber.jpg] installed on mustang [Blocked Image: http://24.154.64.40/snubber2.jpg]
